Via Entertainment Weekly, we’ve got our first look at the newย Batman: Arkham Knight DLC –ย Batgirl: A Matter Of Family.

Batgirl’s story will take place beforeย Batman: Arkham Asylumย and willย follow Batgirl as she teams up with Robin to try and find her father, Commissioner Gordon, who has been kidnapped by none other than the Joker. The gameย will take place in a brand new location calledย Seagate Amusement Park that has been built on top of an oil rig. And in classic villainous fashion, the Joker has rigged the entire place to blow.

To help differentiate Batgirl’s play style to that of the Dark Knight, developer WB Games Montreal have added in hacking abilities as one of the core mechanics.

Hacking is really what separates her from the other characters. Itโ€™s a gameplay mechanic with which the player can create situations for Batgirl to really shine – Justin Vasques, Producer, WB Games Montreal

But there will still be plenty of fighting, and players will also be able to utilise the Dual Play system used inย Arkham Knight,ย allowing them to switchย characters instantaneously. And player’s will need this extra fighting power to take on the Joker and Harley Quinn at the games climax.

In theย previousย Arkham games we never sawย Barbara Gordon as Batgirl due to her being paralysed and in a wheelchair. Instead sheย calls herself Oracle, aiding Batmanย with information and her hacking abilities. In the graphic novelย The Killing Joke, it is actually the Joker that paralyses Barbara before kidnapping her father. Itย will be interesting to see how this is handled in the game, and how much it will differ from the novel.

In addition to the main quest there will be the standard array of side objectives including collectibles and Easter Eggs. Batgirl: A Matter Of Family will be released on July 14 forย Arkham Knightย DLC-Season Pass holders, and will be sold separately onย July 21 for $6.99.
